THE 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will provide both an immediate benefit and a long lasting legacy for UK tourism, according to the British Hospitality Association.
The association claims that there are significant benefits which will come from hosting the Games and a positive legacy from the event will stretch well into the future.
The BHA's chief executive, Ufi Ibrahim explained: "Many sectors of the hospitality industry will gain from holding the Games in London - not just hotels but also the entertainment and catering sectors."
